The LSU Derrius Guice Story is One of the Most Incredible in College Football!
By Super Scout Max Emfinger

One of the MostIncredibleRunning BackStoriesin the History of College Footballis the Story of LSURunning Back Derrius Guice. I saw him play as a Senior in High School forBatonRougeCatholicand I thought that he was a Super-Freak, but I also knew that he Obviously was an LSU Fan.

Then when Guice (#5) Committedto LSU, who already had Two other Super Running Back Freaks in Freshman Super-Star Leonard Fournette of New Orleans St Augustine, Louisiana and another Potential Super-Star in Darrel Williams of Marrero John Ehret, Louisiana.I saw all Three Running Back Freaks Play in High School, but if they are all on the Same Team, only one of them could be the Starting Running Back.

Fournette was a Freshman Starter and he was Selected to the Freshman All-SEC Team. Then in 2015, as a Sophomore, Fournette was a Consensus First Team All-American, while Freshman Guiceand Williams, hardly got any Playing-Time.

Then in 2016, and being Hailed as The Heisman Trophy Favorite, Fournette got Injured, giving Guice and Williams a Chance to become the Super “Go-To” Running Back and “The Guice” took Full Advantage of the Miracle and a Chance to Play.

It’s PrettyUnbelievable, that a Major CollegeFootball Team could have a Heisman TrophyCandidate at the Same RunningBack Position for ThreeConsecutive Years, but after having LeonardFournette as a Heisman TrophyCandidate in 2015 and again in 2016, LSU will have another Heisman TrophyRunningBackCandidate inGuice (#5 in Photo) in 2017. In HighSchool, Fournette and Guice were the “BestPlayers” on the Football Field in EverySingleGame, that they Played-In and Obviously they have been the“BestPlayeron the FootballField”in College.

I met Fournette after his FabulousHigh SchoolFreshmanFootballSeason in which he Rushedfor an Incredible2,500-Yards and Scored 30 Touchdowns. Also, Fournette became the First HSFreshmanFootball Player to be offered a Scholarship by the LSUTigers, and he Finished his HighSchoolCareer with an Amazing7,619-Yards Rushingand 88Touchdowns.

After Signing with LSU, Fournette became a “HouseholdName” during his Freshman Season when he Rushedfor1,034-Yardsand Scored 10Touchdowns. Then in 2015, the Tigers started off with a 7-0Record and they wereRanked in the Top 5 in the Country, with Fournette leading the way as theirHeismanTrophyCandidate, as heFinished with1,953-Yards Rushing, 23Touchdowns, and anIncredible 162.75 Yards Per Game, in 12 Games.

Heading into the 2016FootballSeason, most all of the talk was whether or not Fournettewould Sit-Outto preserve himself for the 2017NFL Draft. Unfortunately, Fournette decided to play and it wasRiddledByNaggingInjuries, but an UnbelievableNew Super-Star Emerged for the LSUTigers.

And here is where one of the Most Incredible Running Back Stories in College Football Began. For the first time in the 2016 season, LSU Sophomore Super-Star Running Back Derrius GuiceShowed to the College Football Worldwho he Was and What he could do with a Football, as he was Awarded as the Walter Camp National Offensive Player of the Week Award. Guice (5-11, 212, 4.36, 36, 4.26) is the EighthLSU Football Player since 2004 to earn this National Award, the last being Leonard Fournette in the 2015 Football Season.

Then On Thanksgiving Night, in front of a National Television Audienceagainst Texas A&M, GuiceFinished his Sophomore Regular Season with a “Mind-Boggling” Game as he Set an LSU Single-Game School Rushing Record with an Incredible 285-Yards Rushing, as he Carried the Football an Amazing 37-Times, and Four Touchdowns, while Averaging 7.7-Yards Per Carry.

LSU Defeated the Aggies54-39 in in a Very Loudand Very Partial Kyle Football FieldwithGuice Leading-The-Way, LSU was able to Accumulate an Unbelievable 622-Yards of Total Offense, in what Most Football Scouts and LSU Football FansBelieve is a Great Preview of the 2017 Football Season.

In the game against Texas A&M, Guice scored Touchdownson runs of 45, 45, 6, and 1-Yardin the Win. Guice is now one of only Four Players in SEC History to have Multiple 250-YardGamesin aSingleSeason, joining Hall-Of-FameSuper Running Backs, Bo Jackson, Herschel Walker, and Moe Williams.

In the game against Texas A&M, Guicescored Touchdowns on runs of 45, 45, 6, and 1-Yard in the Win. Guice is now one of only Four Players in SEC History to have Multiple 250-YardGames ina SingleSeason, joining Hall-Of-Fame Super Running Backs, Bo Jackson, Herschel Walker, and Moe Williams.

Guice Averaged9.0-YardsPer Carry behind Fournette in the 2015 and 2016 Seasonsand in 2016, he also Averaged 7.6-Yards Per Carryand 16 Touchdowns on an LSU Football Team that did not even Highlight Him as a Running Back. Guiceis a Very Strong and Very Powerful Running Backand a Definite Forerunner for The Heisman Trophy Award and he will be Running Behind a Very Athleticand Very Experienced Offensive Line.

At the Endof the 2016 FootballSeason, The New Super-Star, DerriusGuice wasn’t only the best Running Back on his own LSU Football Team; but he just might have been the best Running Back in the EntireCountry.

The LSU Power Running Gamewill again be there in 2017, but it always has been more Successful Two Super-Star Running Backs and Darrel Williams (6-1, 233, 4,52, 4.18), who is another Super-FreakRunning Backwho rushed for 233-Yardsand Three Touchdowns in 2016 and who is “Looking Forward”to the 2017 Football Season, so he can “Break-Loose” and Show Everyone how Great he is.

In the Off-Season, LSUPotential Super-Star Running Back Darrel Williams(#28) is trying to Get-Backto his “Old Darrel Self” from his Glorious John Ehret Days. The “Old Darrel” was a Four-Star Super Two-Way Recruit who had 2,201-Yards Rushingand 30 Touchdowns in his 2014 Senior Season at John Ehret to prove that he could become a Great CollegeRunningBackand not a Linebackeras many schools, including LSU, were Recruiting Him To Play at first.

When I saw Williams Play in High School, I thought he was a Super-Freakat Running Back and in the Game I saw, he also Played Linebacker on Defense. I Remember that Williams (6-1, 232, 4.52, 4.18) Ran a4.4 Forty inHigh Schooland was a Super Fast Running Back, who like Fournette and Guice, were the Fastest Players on the Field in Every Single Game Played. If he can get his Weight Down to the “Old Darrel” Self, he Could be Sensational Again, like at John Ehret.

Williams would Out-Run most Defenders, but he was a “Stand-Up” Beast-Runner who would Run-Over any Defenderwho got in his way. Some Coaches Feltthat he would become a Fullbackat LSU, but I think he could become a Great Running Backif he did not have Fournette and Guice in his way.

Williams had over 25 Offers, including some of the Top College Football Teams in the Country. Some of his Offers included Arizona State, Auburn, Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Houston, Indiana, Kansas State, ULL, Louisiana Tech, Memphis, Mississippi State, Missouri, Nebraska, Southern Miss, Tennessee, Tulane, Utah, Vandy, and Wisconsin.

Guice will JoinWide Receiver D.J. Clark(#82) of Alexander, Louisiana and Super Senior Defensive Tackle Christian LaCouture(6-4, 301, 5.07)of LincolnSouthwest, Nebraska that will be Traveling to theSEC Media Days with Good Friend and Head Coach Ed Orgeron. Fournette, a First Round Draft Choice and #4 Overall Selection of The Jacksonville Jaguars, Appearedat the SEC Media Days in both 2015 and 2016, but Guice, along withCoach Ed Orgeron (In Photo Below With Guice),will become the Two Super-Stars at the 2017 Media Days.

Clark(6-3, 187, 4.34)from Alexander, Louisiana is also another Potential Super-Star for the LSU Tigers. Clarkis an Extremely Explosive and Speedy Wide Receiver who “Can-Score” anytime that he “Touches the Football”and he will be the LSU “Go-To” Receiver in 2017. With his Great Combination of GreatSpeed, Great Pass Route-Running, and Tremendous Pass-Catching Abilities makes him one of the Best Wide Receivers in the Country inCollege Football.

Clark is also a Very Versatile Athlete and he is the OnlyLSU Player in LSU HistoryTo Score on a Running Play and a Passing Playof 75-Yardsor More. He Scoredon anIncredible 79-Yard Touchdown Run in his “First-Career-Touch” in the 2015 Texas BowlVictory over Texas Tech and then he Caught an 80-Yard Touchdown Pass against Southern Miss in 2016.

In his Career, Clark (#7) has 26 Career Receptions for 466-Yards and Three Touchdownsand has Added Another 201-Yards Rushing and Three More Touchdowns. Clark also has a Career Averageof 17.1-Yards Per Touch with 39 Total Touches for 667-Yards. In order to Completely Utilize his Versatility, Clarkhas just Changed his Jersey Number from #82 for the Last Two Seasons to #7 for the 2017 Season, in the Photo Above. Clark also has Averaged a Great 17.9-Yards Per Catch.

My mission and goal is to search for that hidden high school football talent that has not been found yet. I then evaluate him and try to help him to get some publicity.
In 2003, 2004, 2005. and 2006, I hosted my Annual 7on7 National Championship. My goal was to get great athletes to one area where I could evaluate them and then help them with college coaches.
The only drawback was that college coaches wanted to see the hidden gems in a game-type highlight film and so the college coaches suggested to me that I host a real All-American Bowl Game so that they could view these talented players in a highlight film, playing against other talented players. It's noted that the NCAA doesn't allow the college coaches to attend All-American Games or practices and so the Game Film is a great tool for the college coaches.
In 2005, I hosted my 1st Annual All-American Bowl Game. In nine games in nine years, my wife and I have helped 549 HS football players to get a scholarship that came to our first Bowl Game practice without a single scholarship offer. This also does not count over 1,000 players who we have helped that did not play in our game, including over 100 players in the 2010 Recruiting Season.
My Super Elite Top Gun Camp idealogy, is of course, to get as many Top Football Players to a Top Gun Camp so that all of my coaches and I can evaluate them, rate them, rank them, and promote them. There will always be "Diamonds in the Rough" to be found.
My First Annual Max Emfinger's Super Elite Top Gun Camp was in July of 2010. The Camp was amazing and loaded with unknown and known talent. Many of them were invited to play in our 2011 All-American Bowl Game Classic.
In 2007, in my 3rd Annual All-American Bowl Game, a player by the name of Kareem Jackson came to our first Monday practice, without a single scholarship offer. Jackson decided to come out early and he became a #1 Draft Choice in the 2010 NFL Draft for the Houston Texans.
